CT Summer Story Project
Every person has a story to tell, and The CT Summer Story Project<https://www.csl-dld.org/connecticut-reads/ct-summer-story-project> has invited public libraries to share theirs, in partnership with colleagues, community members, and middle grade writing groups! Six public libraries across the state of Connecticut have written stories about libraries, local legends, and state landmarks. The stories contain nature, giants, wishes, and princes.
>From June 22- July 27, every Monday a new short story will be released with accompanying discussion questions and activities.
To support the program, we have also provided a list of gardening resources containing the libraries that have seed libraries, community gardens, gardening tools to borrow, and host a farmers' market.
And don't forget, reading a story from the CT Summer Story Project is an activity option on the Governor's Summer Learning Challenge Form<https://www.csl-dld.org/connecticut-reads/governors-summer-learning-challenge/gslc-challenge-form-and-list>!
